First Look – 2012 KTMs

Two days ago you saw the 2012 Kawasakis, now check out the 2012 KTM lineup. The four-strokes have received a few changes, but one of the biggest changes come from the two-strokes. For 2012, the KTM SX models received the same linkage setup that the SX-Fs received last year. Look for yourself!
